Anyway, a fair amount has happened in the last week so I thought I'd post a few of the happy sads.
Happy: Aaron and I went to the American Art Museum last Saturday and we got to enjoy a lot of great work, including an Andrew Wyeth painting. Aaron asked if Wyeth was still alive and I said yes and it warmed my heart that crazy, incredibly skilled Andy Wyeth, heir to the great illustrator NC Wyeth, was still living and breathing in this world.
And we saw this Walton Ford which is like 15 feet tall and incredibly awesome. That made my week.
Sad: Six days later Andrew Wyeth died. In memory Aaron and I dragged ourselves through a lonely winter field. Not really. Instead we read the NY Times article remembering his life here.
Sad: Reuben has started teething at two months which is really sad. He's so little he doesn't know how to chew. We try to give him a chew toy to ease his pain and he sucks on it pitifully.
Happy and Sad: Aaron's job ended. Woo-hoo!!! He turned in the black berry and has spent three whole days with me and Reuben. It's amazing. I love having Aaron around. On the sad side, Aaron isn't so excited about unemployment.
Sad: And we still can't find the camera.

Seems like 2 months is a little early for teething or is that standard?
It's CRAZY early. Apparently I started teething just as early so it's my own fault.
Wow, my kid still doesn't have teeth. He's ten months. Justin's family has late teeth, his sisters were losing baby teeth and having them pulled at 15+16 years old. I feel bad for my kids. In the end, probably early is better than late, except for teaching them about not using mommy for a chew toy. Sorry to hear about the job, hope everything works out for you. We all just took pay cuts to save jobs, so I think we are hanging on by threads. Good luck!
Hilde got her first two teeth at 3 and a half months, so I feel your pain. One of the things that she started to do, which I wasn't fond of, was to bite me when nursing. Here is a quick trick I learned in case you ever need it. As soon as she clamped down I would quickly pinch her little nose and she would immediately let go. A few times of that and she mostly stopped doing it.
Sad: I am a lamo blog reader and behind on my Cummings news - my own fault.
Sad: Hazel started teething at 2 months; her tiny cute Sunday dresses would be soaked with drool to her navel because I hated to cover them with a bib like the other 6 days.
Happy: They only teethe for like 3 years!
Happy: Put some roughly crushed ice in a thin baby washcloth and tie it with a rubber band - he will suck and it will feel good.
